WHO WE ARE
Out of the Dust is an innovative, first of it’s kind educational model designed with Utah’s homeless in mind. It is the result of 18 months of interviews, service projects, and learning where the gaps exist, and is designed to change the thinking & attitudes of the public, policy-makers, and those living on the streets.
Our desire is to locate free venues in or near current shelters to teach scientifically-sound, holistic-healing principles and mental health & addiction recovery skills that can lead to long-term growth, personal change, and supplement traditional resource-distribution currently being offered.
The goal is to: 1) reduce homeless recidivism rates & associated crime 2) provide second-chance learning opportunities for those most at risk 3) make the community safer and 4) save tax-payer funds normally spent treating the symptoms rather than the causes of homelessness.
